Duties and Responsibilities
* Sharing your language with your host family. You should work out your schedule with your host family in advance or immediately upon arrival. Your primary reason for being there is to provide conversation in your language and to provide childcare for the children. The family knows that and they are expecting you to set the teaching schedule in advance and bring materials with you that will help the children learn conversational English. This is your responsibility. They are expecting to take the lead from you.
* Help take care of the school aged children which may include walking the children to school or being home when the children arrive home from school; preparing a meal for the children or a snack; and helping them with their homework.
* Tutoring and caring for children is for a total of 20 hours each week. You will be asked to watch the children in the evenings, no more than twice a month. The schedule can be arranged in advance or upon arrival. Receive ¬40 per week.
* Help with general household tidiness (helping set and clear the table, keeping your room neat, etc). You will not help in any domestic work, but will help out more as another family member such as helping with menus, setting and clearing the table at meals or tidying your own room.
* Using GeoVisions' teaching materials, your free subscription to the online ESL Lounge along with your creativity, provide creative, fun and informative language sessions.
* Assist the Italian family with conversational English.
